Chapter 15: Doomsday Mirror
The earth is the foundation of this world. The insatiable greed of mankind has left this blue planet full of scars. As the footsteps of human beings drift away, the damage to the "mother" is getting bigger and bigger.
The emergence of the core of science and technology has made people feel that they can repair the earth with confidence. But the joy didn't last long, and with the disappearance of the core of technology, people felt uneasy again.
Only a few people know all this, but they have been working hard for the future of humanity. Whether creating or destroying, humanity never stops.
In this tech-dominated era, there is no leader. Most of the things that people do from birth to end are done by super technology. And the companies that master these high-end technologies have real power.
The monetary system has also changed dramatically, and people don't have to worry about employment. Each person will be randomly assigned tasks by the system according to their strengths and environment, and they will receive fiat virtual currency for completing these tasks.
When you have a certain amount of currency, you can also take the initiative to take on higher-level tasks, and of course, the rewards you get are also multiplied. When people are about fifteen years old, they can take on advanced tasks to make money, and everyone will not worry about life.
Once people have no worries about food and clothing, they will feel that a peaceful life is boring. This mentality breeds many extralegal fanatics who wander outside the boundaries of the law and make inhumane decisions, all just to appease the heart that has long since deteriorated in the chest.
Human beings in this era have a long lifespan, even if the heart on the body is broken, a new heart can be cultivated through an organ vending machine, and then replaced by a special robot, the whole process is not dangerous.
But......
Just ten years ago, the scientists of Azure Technology, through a lot of research and calculations, discovered an extremely terrifying thing.
They came to the conclusion that in fifty years the Earth would explode and disintegrate. This means that the lives of more than 10 billion human beings will come to an end. Although there are survival bases in the alien world, all the alien bases in the world, even if combined, can only accommodate less than 100 million human beings.
There are only three tech cores that can save the world, but the first thing to do is to find the two missing.
There is not the slightest message.
The three technological cores are assembled together to mend the scars of the earth.
"Save the world. Zhang Wei muttered, this is not something he should consider.
"Yes, save the world, not only you, but also me. Tianyu said firmly.
"Don't be kidding, it's up to me to save the world, are you sure you're not wasting your only opportunity?" Zhang Weiteng stood up suddenly, and said with some excitement.
He knew very well in his heart that this world would not be his turn to be the protagonist anyway. What's more, the world in the future will be destroyed, what does it matter to him, and his ashes will probably turn into dirt at that time.
"Aren't you willing to help?" Tianyu sighed, knowing that this was the result.
"What reason do I have to help, and what can I do?" Zhang Wei sat down and asked rhetorically.
"It's true that there's no reason for you to get involved, maybe you should look at this. After Tianyu finished speaking, he pointed to the distance with his hand.
The view of the universe from the floor-to-ceiling windows vanished and became a blank slate.
"Help me deduce, time: forty years later. Tianyu said in the direction of the floor-to-ceiling window.
After a few seconds of shaking, a huge panorama of the city appears on the screen. The metal hanging city in the center of the city is still so conspicuous. After more than ten seconds, the camera gradually fell on a couple of men and women who were walking on the street.
The man was young, he looked only about twenty years old, and the woman was also beautiful, and the short black hair that just past her earlobe made her look very attractive. The man and woman are now holding hands and walking slowly down the street together.
From time to time, men tell women some interesting things in life, and the smile on the woman's face also shows that she is very happy now.
The two of them walked happily on the street, and suddenly, a loud noise broke the harmonious atmosphere, and the ground in the distance quickly cracked a bottomless gap. In an instant, the whole earth began to shake.
The man was very calm, holding the woman's hand tightly and running into the distance.
The city's buildings are sturdy, and even in the face of such a violent earthquake, they did not collapse. More and more people ran outside, some fled from mid-air in their own aircraft, and some watched helplessly from the ground.
"Boom!" another loud bang was heard, and a faint white mist slowly emerged from the countless cracks in the ground, followed by streams of crimson magma gushing out along the cracks.
The flying machines that couldn't dodge in the sky were hit by the magma that was sprayed in all directions, and they fell from the sky with a wobble crash. The ground was already full of cracks and lava, and the temperature was rising throughout the city.
The man dragged the woman to a place that seemed safe, but the woman's eyes were full of tears.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. The man held the woman's hand tightly and comforted.
"Perhaps, the end of the world is really coming. A smile tugged at the woman's tear-stained face.
"It's not bad to be able to die with you. After the woman finished speaking, she stretched out her arms and hugged the man in front of her who was protecting her.
Raising his hand and gently stroking the woman's hair, the man secretly wiped away the tears that flowed down, and said with a smile: "What a stupid thing to say, we are not married yet." ”
"Don't comfort me, I ......" Before the woman could finish speaking, the ground under their feet cracked to the sides without warning.
In the middle of the crack, only the man and woman were still standing alone on the only remaining stone pillar.
The earth was divided on either side, and there was only such a fan-sized place under their feet, they couldn't even move a single step, or they would immediately fall into the abyss.
Perhaps, our lives are really over here. The man said, but his face was calm.
A faint white gas had begun to emerge from the cracks around them, and the air around them had become a little pungent. But the strange thing is that neither of them has the slightest hint of panic, but is smiling at each other.
"Don't talk, kiss me!" Before the man could react, the woman's lips came to him.
The towering hanging city in the center of the city also began to shake violently, and after more than ten seconds, it finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
Sirens, cries, shouts, desperate wails turn into an elegy for the end of the world, as if mocking the fragility of life.
"Will you marry me?"
"I do!"
The scorching magma erupted from the crack, engulfing the two lonely figures in an instant.
Perhaps, with you on the road, you will not be lonely.
Not only in this city, but in all parts of the world, great disasters are happening. Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, meteorite landings.
The screen switches one after another, and the speed is getting faster and faster. In the end, countless small pictures form a huge post-apocalyptic scene on the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The catastrophe continues......
A light rain fell in the sky, and on the shattered earth, a teenage girl stood helplessly in the ruins, tears rolling down her face.
The sound of ethereal music sounds, this is the last gift of the world to people.
Please don't leave me alone in the rain of the end of the world
Singing a song that witnesses the end with the sound of the rain
People have finally ended their search and stood still
Crying and begging for a miracle.
The next moment, the earth shattered completely. From the perspective of the universe, the entire earth turned into a burning fireball, and after the violent explosion, the torn homeland floated quietly in the universe.
